After viral Coldplay kiss cam, Chris Martin’s moment with Indian couple melts hearts

A "kiss cam" moment at a Coldplay concert at Boston’s Gillette Stadium went viral for all the wrong reasons. Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot were captured cuddling, their visibly awkward attempts to hide from the camera igniting a social media storm.

The internet, especially curious given Byron is married, had immediate questions.

However, the chaotic online reaction was soon overshadowed by a heartwarming plot twist.

Indian couple sings with Chris Martin

A newly surfaced video shows a couple from Mumbai holding a handmade sign that read: “Just engaged, can we sing Magic together?”

And yes, Coldplay’s frontman Chris Martin noticed.

In classic Martin style, he stopped the show, squinted at the sign, and joked: “Are you a legitimate couple? Do you speak English?”

Cue the crowd erupting in laughter.

Once the couple confirmed they were truly engaged, Martin brought them on stage, sang Magic with them, and even tweaked a lyric to include their names. He ended with a group hug, making it one of the most heartwarming moments of the night. 

Social media reacts: “He’s got PTSD from the last couple!”

The emotional rollercoaster had fans buzzing.
One user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote:

“He gotta ask before flashing them on screen.”

Another added:

“He’s got PTSD from the previous couple!”

As the video racked up over 2 million views, the moment quickly became a viral antidote to the awkwardness of the infamous “kiss cam” clip. 

Meanwhile, the ‘kiss cam couple’ stays silent

For context, the “kiss cam” featured Andy Byron, CEO of data startup Astronomer (valued at $1.3b), and his HR chief Kristin Cabot.

Their panicked reaction sparked speculation across social platforms. Byron is reportedly married with two children, while Cabot—who joined the company less than a year ago—has not commented.

As of now, neither has publicly responded to the viral moment.

From awkward silences to magical serenades, Coldplay’s concert in Boston had it all—but it’s the Indian couple’s spontaneous on-stage duet that fans will remember for all the right reasons.
